THE PRODUCT

Black as colour. Black as a motif. Black as a mood. Black as life, and black as death. The Black Book is pulpo’s first in an annual series of publications focusing on a particular colour close to our hearts. This years colour – Black, is a constant part of pulpo’s identity and can be clearly seen throughout our collection and how we convey our world.
To help portray the complexities in the interpretation of this colour; pulpo has called upon our collaborative cohort of designer that each brings their own connection with the subject. Some have looked inwards to their own processes and workings with black to help convey its vast meaning. Others have taken a more scientific route. While some look at personal objects in the cataloguing of all things black, others have used its nature as inspiration to create.
Both an emotive and scientific subject, the book features words, works and findings from A+A Cooren, Studio Furthermore, Kai Linke, Daphné Le Cléach, Studio Brichet Ziegler, Meike Harde, Ferréol Babin and Davide Monopoli. The Black Book is a celebration of a colour as connected with the big bang as it is to Satan. We invite you to explore how this most mysterious of subjects has shaped our collaborators and our work at large.
